UK footie club plays in undies to get sponsor

London, August 5 (ANI): A Sunday league football team from Suffolk, UK played a match in their underwear in a bizarre bid to attract a sponsor to buy them a new kit.

Playford Football Club, who play in the Flowsports Ipswich Sunday Football League, produced a video to the tune of LMFAO's hit 'Sexy And I Know It.'

The video, posted on Youtube, featured the Woodbridge-based team playing a match in just their underwear, shin pads and boots.

More than 700 people viewed the footage only days after it was posted on the net.

"We wanted to do something that would make us stand out to potential sponsors," the BBC quoted defender and club captain Richard Jones, who came up with the idea, as saying.

"We're hoping the video might help. It was good fun to make, although slightly odd," he said.

The football club - relegated two divisions after conceding more than 100 goals in the 2010-11 season - finished third in the fourth tier of the Ipswich league last season.

They football club, which was formed in 1998, also won the league's fair play award for the third time. (ANI)
